The International Olympic Committee "is fully concentrated and committed to the successful and safe delivery" of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics this year despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
IOC president Thomas Bach says all stakeholders, including the Japanese government, are fully united and committed to going ahead with the rearranged Games.
Despite much of Japan being under a state of emergency because of the third wave of COVID, the Olympics are set to commence on 23rd July.
Bach said there was "no blueprint" for trying to organise the first rearranged Games during an ongoing pandemic, which he said has "multiplied" the complexity of staging the events.
But he did admit for the first time that there may be no crowds at the event.
